Excellent tea house and garden for a lunch wholemeal or white bread generously sized, a high tea or just a pot of tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Very nice garden and friendly hard working staff!
Beautiful location next to the Great Western canal. Gluten free & vegetarian options available. There is a garden area and a small under cover area. I really loved it here and if the opportunity arises I will go back. Thank you!
We stopped here for a quick lunch. There were quite a few vegan options. Although gluten free options weren't marked on the menu they were able to offer me a gluten free roll and there were jacket potatoes on the menu. They do non dairy milk as well. Lovely little garden with tables and a few tables inside. Dogs were allowed both in the garden and inside. Worth a visit for lunch if you need vegan options and non vegan options.
Have to say this one of the best and friendliest Tea Rooms I have visited. I hope that the staff see this review. We ordered 2 ham sandwiches which were really tasty and filling, along with tea and coffee. We finished off with 2 of Farmer Tom's ice creams. Lovely tasting flavours and a bit different. Really well priced food and great value. Stunning garden in a great location. Will look forward to returning.
5 stars for being open on monday lunchtime in April bank holiday, when the rest of Tiverton was closed! Also a really charming sun trap, with tasty cream tea.
Excellent tea and scones.. Very friendly staff and very good set up..quite reasonable prices too!!
We had a lovely cream tea in what is said to be the last thatched cottage in Tiverton. It is part of the Great Western Canal where the last South West horse drawn barge is still operational. The Tea room was very cute and quintessentially British. The garden was very picturesque and we had a good helping of tea, jam, clotted cream on two scones each! Would recommend a visit if you’re in that area of Devon
Edit: the owner has been harassing me due to me leaving a negative review Summary: -over 30 people in a small room due to double booking -owner rude and unapologetic -owner did not rectify any complaints -hair in food both human and dog -no order taking at the table, everyone has to go individually to the window to order and pay - the window to order at is not wheelchair accessible -toilets are only accessible by steps The owner is the most horrible person I have ever had the displeasure meeting. The tea room was booked for an event baby shower for a party of 10-12 people with a fair amount advance notice. The venue was later updated that there would be actually 14 guests, which they were okey with. At no point prior to the day was the party organiser informed that the venue had booked another party of 20 in the same small room. We were simply told that if the weather is bad other customers may also be seated in the area. Permission was asked prior to the day to decorate the tea room for the shower and venue said that we are welcome to do whatever as long as we don't use confetti. On the day of the event, after arrival we were told that there was another party of 20 booked in the same space, that we were not allowed to decorate or move the tables or put tablecloths or do anything really. The owner refused to discuss with us directly constantly sending the poor staff back and from. Once the second booking arrived, the small room was certainly packed beyond what I would consider safe with regards to fire regulations. Beyond the legalities, have you ever had the bad luck of being in a room the size of a let's say an open space kitchen/lounge with 33 other people, 3 dogs, and a baby? Chaos just does not describe the situation. and I have no issue with dogs being present if they are well behaved but there was a week old baby in a car seat present, so obviously we were concerned about babies safety, and the dog was barking the entire time We asked to speak to the owner, and she was horrible. She kept interrupting us while we were trying to explain to her the situation. I politely asked her to please stop interrupting cause we didn't interrupt her and she was being rude. She then started making up accusations of our party swearing at the staff which didn't happen and that she didn't have to inform us on booking about other bookings in the same room or about the presence of dogs. The staff was incredibly stressed by how overcrowded the room was and they struggled to serve everyone in a timely manner. My party on departure told the staff that we don't blame them at all for what was the owners fault and we are sorry if we were at any point abrupt towards them, everyone was obviously stressed by it all. The staff was incredibly understanding and they said that they don't blame us at all and they don't know who took the bookings but the room was obviously overbooked. To add to everything else, not one, not two, but three different people in our party found hair in the food,both human and dog You can also not order at the table so large groups need to all go individually to order and pay. The are to order as well as the toilets are not wheelchair accessible.
Nice tea rooms. We visited after a cycle along the canal excellent - reviewed separately. We had tea/coffee and cake - all very nice and served quickly by a friendly waitress. Lots of different seating areas in the garden including a shelter with roof and an enclosed garden room. The food we saw being served all looked fine. A nice, relaxed atmosphere and all the customers seemed happy.
Really nice cream tea here. Lovely place. Food looked amazing that was coming out of the kitchen.
